If your in a spot that gets wind make sure that mofo is tied down or you'll have a big ass kite on your hands. Not sure about wrapping hoops in plastic. I'm still using the cover that came with my hoop house. I know they make clips that hold plastic onto pvc hoop houses. What are yours made out of?

A 6 foot stick with a softener helps. I cover my 20x20 with one other guy and 2 sticks. Actually pvc pipe with a T on the end works just great.

These snap clamps reduce frustration.

I made like a hip on the sides do you think I could just staple it to it than screw boards to pinch plastic

That's pretty much what I have done in the past, works well.
